The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in South Gyle get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

South Gyle: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in South Gyle.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in South Gyle

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
